Immaculate Grid baseball answers, clues, hints and connections for Grid 99 and Grid 100 on July 11 with the Braves, Reds, Astros, Dodgers, Yankees, Phillies, All-Star selections and 200+ hit seasons.
It’s a special day for the Immaculate Grid baseball game. As the MLB All-Star Game is here, so is the 100th Grid, but only because the developers of the game are giving us two grids for the day. The first, Grid 99, went up at midnight ET on July 11 with the second set to drop at 11:30 a.m. ET for Grid 100.
The first grid features an All-Star Game tie-in for the MLB fans out there, but also has connections for the Braves, Reds, Rays, Angels and Orioles too. It’s a fun one, and a tricky game too as the six squares not involving All-Star selections have shockingly low early success rates.
So let’s dive into the Immaculate Grid baseball game (or games) for July 11 with the top answers for each square and then more answers that would’ve worked.
Immaculate Grid 99: Top answers and connections for each square (July 11)
These are the most popular answers so far today. This is very much just for information, especially as you try to achieve a rarity score, which is the opposite of this.
